Here is a picture of the autograph books that I made for the boys.

The shirts are great Marshay. I love DD's the best but the others are great too! We are just now playing with graphics and all and will make our shirts as it gets closer. WE bought the Lime Green shirts but the graphics we have so far I don't think will look good on lime green, so we'll be needed a light blue, a white and maybe a red, not sure yet. What colors do you think would look good on the lime green? You are my craft idol so I know you'll give me the best advice!

Honestly? I'd go for black. Less confusion with the lime green.

Hey, Junebug -- what kind of letters did you use? They look three dimensional and fun!

I just used foam letters that I found at the local dollar store. They didn't turn out too bad I must say.

Junebug- the books are adorable! You did such a great job with them!

I am getting so excited that our trip is less than 2 months away.

Here is a pic of DD and I (its from the summer and a little old). She was very happy to have her pic taken. I don't have one of all 3 of us on this pc.

and here is one of DD, that's more recent:

Your daughter looks so adorable. Thanks for the compliment about the books, just thought I would give it a shoot and even my friends son liked it.

 

[Marshay]

Junebug -- that's the way I started too!! You just have to give it a try! You're already being creative as a lot of people would have just written the words but I love the Foam letters!

Ipol -- very cute photos!!

Since I couldn't find refill pages that fill the Disney book, I went back to my Album I made in September and sure enough, I just hand-punched a hole to make it fit. So now my Disney album is ready to begin. I outlined 40 pages (!) some letters are a two page spread and others are just one page. I also sorted out all my Disney paper to see what looks interesting.

Now I just need to start this!

Just wanted to give ya a bump Marshay

Sorry for the late reply...my parents were in town and DD really had a lot of fun with them (Nana and Pop Pop stay with me today!)

I actually have nearly all the prep work done for my Disney ABC book...yeah, I'm a little behind...but I figured it out to 40 pages and listed all the stickers that I need to purchase...so I just need to head out to Michaels sometime and start buying them. I found Michaels has a better and larger selection of Disney stickers than AC Moore, which is a bummer, since ACM is closer and I always get coupons from them on email.

Other than that, I'm trying to get some of DD's outgrown toys and clothes ready for a consignment sale. I haven't tried selling anything yet but will do so on April 5th. I'm just hoping to sell enough stuff so I can purchase more!! I know that sounds funny, but since I'm volunteering (actually DH is) at this one, I can get into the sale an hour before the general public. This sale is the best one in our county and always has wonderful things from clothes to gear to toys. I always buy anyway, but this time I'm hoping to make maybe $50-100, too.

Wow can't wait to see the book.

I so need to go through DD and DS's clothes. I think you helped me put that on the list for this weekend.

Hey Marshay.

DS never wants his mommom to go either when it is time for her to leave after a visit...totally understand

Can't wait to see your book...

We went to the new Michaels near us and they are HUGE

I got two HUGE make your own buttons....going to try and see if I can put our names on LGMH and then put them inside the button. If it works, will have one of my bag and one of my mom's

Consignment sales are great..Good Luck

I like the buttons! Please post a picture when you completed...I will go later this week to check them out, too. Sounds like they will hold up better than my paper MH!

Yeah, DD misses her g-parents...however, my sister and family come into town Thursday night. She can't wait to see her cousins!

OK, here is the cover and back of the Disney ABC book.

I bought the 8x8 album from Michaels. It originally said "Memories" on the front but I changed to Disney ABC and added the Mickey buttons.

Then on the back cover, this was completely blank, so everything you see was added.

 

[Trentmom]

I love the Mickey Book.

it is great

Those buttons are so cute

 

[chcmama]

Very cute Mickey book, those buttons are great. Good job.
